The thousand-kilometer-wide bug swarm swept past, and everything in their way disappeared. Even the ground sank by dozens of meters, and some small hills and peaks were turned into nothingness by the void bugs. As for the flying cars and spaceships, none of them could escape once they came into contact with the bug swarm. After the bug swarm passed, what was left behind was a horrifying damaged land. As far as the eye could see, it was a barren land without any signs of life.
Guo Shier and the others had been observing the void bugs. Only now did they have some understanding of them. They knew that the stability and instability of space were very important to them.
As they got closer and closer to the exit, the space became more and more stable, and the bug swarm slowed down again. It wasn't that they didn't want to speed up, but after the space stabilized, there were fewer and fewer spatial cracks around them, and the void energy they could obtain became less and less. Their charging speed slowed down bit by bit, and they had already pulled away from Li Ran and the others by a large distance. They were completely relaxed.
Li Ran said, "I reckon that the void bugs can't get out of this space. If they force their way out, they'll be done for very soon. You have to know that the space in the starry sky projection is extremely stable, and they can't be so rampant anymore."
Guo Shier sighed. "This journey … is simply terrifying."
Serxlyn whispered, "Even if the bugs are powerful, we still escaped."
Qi Wuzhen said, "Pay attention, the bugs are gathering!"
Seeing a large number of void bugs gathering, the bug swarm that was thousands of kilometers wide rapidly shrank and gathered into a ball. It shrank to a radius of about a kilometer, forming a huge cluster of bugs. It was so densely packed that it made people shudder. It was like a huge sphere rolling rapidly in the air, and the spatial cracks grew crazily. It was like a furball covered in long hair, and those long and thin fluttering hairs were the spatial cracks.
The speed of the bug swarm increased again, and it pressed down on Li Ran's team.
Guo Shier was shocked and said, "This method isn't bad. They actually know to gather and absorb void energy."
Li Ran and Qi Wuzhen said in unison, "Smart bugs!"
Because they had put some distance between them, they didn't mind. Wang Dayang said, "Why are these bugs so persistent? It seems like they only chase after us … "He couldn't understand at all.
Guo Shier said, "Because you have a powerful soul, and they are interested in a powerful soul!"
Wang Dayang said in realization, "Uh, no wonder you guys want to use soul attacks …" He remembered that they had discussed this problem before. He had been too busy to think about the void bugs' weaknesses while they had been escaping. He had been in such a sorry state along the way, and he hadn't had the time to think about the void bugs' weaknesses like Li Ran's team.
The void worms became tighter and tighter, turning into a black ball. The spatial cracks in the surroundings quickly extended. Even though the space here was very stable, it was still shaken by the spatial cracks created by this group of worms. The entire sky began to tremble. As the worm flew through the sky, it left behind countless tiny spatial fragments. As a wave, the void bugs' of of of the sky, they formed, and ran. of. of them, and, and of them.
The swarm of insects left an invisible spatial crack belt in the air. This was a belt of death, filled with twisted and fragmented spatial cracks.
Clearly, the stable space here was very disadvantageous to the void bugs. They could only rely on the power of the group to forcefully open the void. This was very taxing on them, so they increased their speed before slowing down again.
Li Ran's group finally relaxed a little. Flying at full speed was also a huge burden for them. They could fly for several days or even dozens of days, but flying at full speed for a long time was very harmful to the sacrificial altar, and their soul power was also consumed. Being able to relax a little was a great joy.
Guo Shier kept sending out soul shockwaves to detect the changes of the bug tide. This concerned their life and death, so he didn't relax at all.
At this time, he noticed the change of the bug tide and said, "The bugs are becoming smaller! Hmm, their consumption must be very large. "Then, he noticed an even bigger change and said," The bug tide is splitting up … "
As expected, a group of void bugs split up and went back the way they came, while the other group continued to chase after Li Ran's team.
Li Ran said, "It seems that the stronger bugs are still chasing, and the weaker ones have retreated … Sometimes, I can't help but wonder if they have intelligence."
As they got closer to the exit, the bug tide was still splitting up, and waves of void bugs went back the way they came. At this time, Li Ran's team was sure that the stable space could not only stop the void bugs, but it was also very disadvantageous to them. They had a better chance of escaping.
The void bugs were obviously less active, and they even stopped chasing the spaceship that was only dozens of kilometers away. They just stared at Li Ran's team. At this time, the bug tide was no more than five hundred meters in diameter. It was a black ball, and its shape was constantly twisting. It looked very frightening. Although their speed had slowed down, they were still many times faster than spaceships.
Wang Dayang said, "We're almost there … The exit point of the ruins is in front. I wonder if there are still people there?"
Qi Wuzhen said indifferently, "It depends on their luck. So much news has spread. If they still don't escape, they deserve to die!" She did not care at all. People without strength ran to such a scary place, and if they were not smart, in her opinion, they deserved to die. They had made a lot of noise along the way, and the news should have spread throughout the Allheaven ruins. If there were still people here, they were really courting death.
Guo Shier guessed, "They should have run away. I saw a few spaceships along the way, so the news should have spread." He knew that the Heavenly Spirit Race and the Mechanical Race's news transmission was very fast. As long as someone knew, the other races would quickly get the news.
But when they saw the exit point of the ruins, they knew that they had guessed wrong. There were a lot of flying cars and spaceships there, as well as a lot of people. There was no order at all, and the gathering point was a mess. Only flying cars and spaceships could be seen going up and down, and no one knew what they were busy with.
Guo Shier said, "Damn it, there seems to be a lot of people … We are very close to them!" Even if they were very close, they would still need to fly for a few minutes. This was the information obtained from Soul Detection.
Li Ran asked, "Is there any other way out?" He also did not want to implicate so many people at once. He was very clear about the power of the void worms. Once they rushed over, not many people would be able to escape. Of course, at the exit of the ruins, because the space was stable, there was still hope of escape. If it was in a place where the space was unstable, no one would be able to escape.
Wang Dayang said with a bitter smile, "There is no other way out … This path is like the mouth of a gourd, and there are strange winds on both sides. If someone accidentally touches it, all the water in their body will be sucked dry, and they will become a dried corpse."
Qi Wuzhen asked curiously, "What kind of wind is it? Is there such a wind? "
Wang Dayang thought about it and said, "I can't use words to describe it … I can only use wind to describe it. The ground on both sides is extremely dry and cracked, without a trace of water. I heard that some experts have tried it before, and after entering for a kilometer, they began to lose a large amount of water. There is no way to resist it at all. If they can't retreat quickly, they will soon die silently. It is no less dangerous than a spatial crack, but as long as they don't enter that kind of place, they will be fine.
"This path has clear markings, so there is no need to worry about crashing into it. However, this path is very narrow, and with our speed, we will crash into it and go deep inside if we are not careful. Forget it, let me lead the way!"
As Wang Dayang spoke, he had already rushed to the front, using the purple chains on his body to entangle everyone. It was no wonder that he was worried. The narrowest part of this path was only 100 kilometers, and to them, this distance could be crossed in the blink of an eye.
In the time it took to say a few words, Li Ran and the others had already approached the gathering point. Serxlyn exclaimed, "Wow, so many flying cars and spaceships, and so many people!"
When those people saw the insect swarm in the distance, they became even more panicked and chaotic. They had already received accurate information and were all preparing to leave, but they had never thought that the insect swarm would actually rush here. These days, there had been a terrifying legend circulating in the Allheaven ruins. It was a group of unknown insects that could annihilate anything. As long as they encountered them, no matter what race's experts, not even one in a hundred would survive.
With the speed of Li Ran and the others, they could reach the gathering point in a few dozen seconds. They were running at full speed, and their speed was extremely fast. They were as fast as lightning, and they did not slow down at all. As for those panicking people, they had only just begun to rush towards the exit of the ruins. They were filled with regret and hatred. If they had left earlier, they would have been able to escape. The gathering point was only a few hundred kilometers away from the exit of the ruins. With the speed of flying cars and spaceships, they would arrive in less than half an hour.
In the panic, some races began to prepare to attack. They did not know that the void insects did not fear attacks at all. Seeing that there were people launching long-range attacks, more and more people joined in. Many spaceships also turned to attack. It was as if they had found a place to vent their fear, and everyone who could launch long-range attacks joined in.
Li Ran and the others were shocked to find countless attacks coming at them. Guo Shier cursed and sent out dozens of incantations, causing the Soul Suppressing Cauldron to shine brightly.
Most of the attacks fell on Guo Shier and the others. To be more accurate, they fell on Guo Shier's head because he was at the front and had the Soul Suppressing Cauldron on his head. He was too eye-catching. However, this was the only round of attacks. They were too fast, and many of the attacks missed. Only about 10% of the attacks directly hit the Soul Suppressing Cauldron's light screen.
Although this attack was nothing to Guo Shier, the power of the attacks still caused him to slow down. He could not help but curse. His body paused for a moment, and then he rushed forward again. Li Ran and Qi Wuzhen were immediately enraged, and even Wang Dayang angrily cursed.
Just by pausing for a moment, the group of insects behind them closed in. Guo Shi 'er led the group and rushed into the gathering point, followed by the swarm of insects.
